Tips for gathering evidence to demonstrate your skills

The important thing to remember when gathering evidence is that the more evidence the better - that is, the more evidence you gather to demonstrate your skills, the more confident an assessor can be that you have learned the skills not just at one point in time, but are continuing to apply and develop those skills (as opposed to just learning for the test!). Furthermore, one piece of evidence that you collect will not usualy demonstrate all the required criteria for a unit of competency, whereas multiple overlapping pieces of evidence will usually do the trick!

Instructions to Assessors

Evidence Guide

The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.

Overview of assessment

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

Evidence of the ability to:

build a GUI to requirements

demonstrate a GUI in concept and compiled form, using a development tool to assist GUI construction

provide appropriate documentation.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure access to:

GUI requirements

organisational standards

development environment.

Where applicable, physical resources should include equipment modified for people with special needs.

Method of assessment

A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge. The following examples are appropriate for this unit:

verbal or written questioning to assess candidate’s knowledge of programming concepts and system properties

evaluation of GUI completed by candidate

review of documentation produced by candidate for GUI.

Guidance information for assessment

Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended, where appropriate.

Assessment processes and techniques must be culturally appropriate, and suitable to the communication skill level, language, literacy and numeracy capacity of the candidate and the work being performed.

Indigenous people and other people from a non-English speaking background may need additional support.

In cases where practical assessment is used it should be combined with targeted questioning to assess required knowledge.

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills

communication skills to liaise with clients

literacy skills to:

produce GUI documentation

understand requirements, documents and standards

problem-solving skills to solve programming problems that may arise

technical skills to:

debug the programming language where appropriate

program using the specified programming language

use a range of software packages

use a workstation

use appropriate languages during GUI development.

Required knowledge

detailed knowledge of:

object-oriented programming concepts

system properties

features of application programming interface (API)

issues relating to copyright and intellectual property

overview knowledge of Australian Computer Society Code of Ethics

relevant commonwealth and state privacy and information access legislation.
